Question 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.

For many years, human resources director Pete Tapaskar says it's been a challenge to fill all the jobs at his suburban Chicago-based technology company. [5]Getting high skilled people is still a challenge.

Elizabeth Sue is principal policy analyst for the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, who studies Chicago’s recent immigration trends. She said “They are slowly moving into the south, especially Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia. [6]What we are seeing right now is a substantially decreased total of international in-immigrations. Prior to the recession we were between 50 and 60 thousand most years.

Tapaskar says there are many reasons why immigrants choose to live in Southern states instead of Chicago. [7]“The environment there is ideal for starting a business, could be the taxes there are low, and employers are getting a lot of benefits from the state government.”

When the top U.S. oil companies announced huge increases in profits this week, many consumer advocates raised companies.

The U.S. Senate Finance Committee is seeking tax return information on top U.S. oil companies from the Internal Revenue Service and some politicians are calling for a windfall profits tax. Pf course, oil companies oppose such a move, citing similar or even higher profit increases in other industries, such as real estate, that have not caused controversy.

US government kealth and safty officials are investigating the cause of the recent explosion at a West Virginia coal mine, which killed 12 miners.

supply. The U.S. economy is dependent on coal production. Coal-fired power plants generate about 50 percent of the nation’s electricity.

Test 4 News Report 3

Question 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.

When it comes to dieting, losin weight fast holds some appeal. Maybe that’s why U.S. News & World Report has added a Fast Weight-Loss Diet category to its annual rankings of best diet plans. And one of the diets that comes out on top is the Health

Management Resources (HMR) program.

[5]HMR is a meal replacement diet that can be done on your own at home or under medical supervision. Instead of made-at-home meals, dieters can order low-calorie milk, soups, nutrition bars and multigrain cereal.

The U.S. News reviewers say [6]the plus side to the HMR diet is its quick-start option and the convenience of having meals delivered to you. The down side is “the milk lacks variety,” and it’s tough to eat out while on this diet.

[7] “A common misunderstanding is that losing weight quickly is not healthy, not sustainable, and will just lead to future weight re-gain,”wrote Carol Addy, the chief medical officer at HMR, in a release. But she says, to the contrary, “numerous studies demonstrate that following a lifestyle change program which promotes fast initial weight loss can result in better long-term success.”

5. What is the HMR program?

A) An express company that delivers food.

B) A meal replacement diet.

C) A report on fast weight-loss diet category.

D) An annual ranking of best diet plans.

7. What’s the common misunderstanding about losing weight fast?

B) It may change our lifestyle.

C) It is unhealthy and unsustainable.

D) It can lead to future diseases.

Get ready to balance your egg!" When you first get the egg back from your friends, pretend to kiss the egg at the base. Make the base wet. Then put the base into salt which is in your other hand. The salt will stick to the egg. Then put the egg on the table. Twist the egg around a few times as this will arrange the grains of salt. Then it will stand up. Don't forget to thank the chicken.

Unit One Tr a ck 4-1-O L-l A. Jay and Elise are talking about an accident. Listen and check the correct picture. Jay: Come in here, Elise. You should see this show! Elise: What is it? Jay: It's called "The Titanic of the Sky." It's about the Hindenburg, a great engineering feat. Elise: The Hindenburg ... Jay: You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in 1934. Thirty-five people died. Elise: Oh yeah, I remember now. It was flying from Germany to the United States. It crashed as it was landing. Jay: Right. It's so funny looking, don't you think? It doesn't look anything like the airplanes as have today. Elise: That's true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin anyway? It seems so dangerous. Jay: Well, some people called the Hindenburg "man's greatest achievement in flight." They thought it was safe, I guess. Elise: Who rode in it anyway? Jay: Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One person said it was like a "flying hotel." Eise: It sounds pretty great. Jay: Yeah, and it was fast. That's why people rode it. They wanted to get to their destination faster. Elise: Why didn't they just take a jet plane? Jay: Elise! You know they didn't have jets back then. Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from Germany to the U.S. by ship. The zeppelin could do it in half that time. It was speedy. Elise: Well, maybe I'll sit down and watch a little bit. Maybe I'll learn something ... Tr a ck 4-1-O L-2 B. Listen again. How was the zeppelin described? Check your answers. Track 4-1-OL-3 A. Listen to the conversation and check the correct picture. Jack: I think we should buy a bigger car. Big cars are safer. Kayla: Yes, but on the other hand, they consume more oil. Jack: They also look really cool. Kayla: That's true, but there are some SUVs which are not big but also very beautiful. Jack: And 1 think big cars are more fun to drive. Kayla: But then again, it's very expensive. Jack: Well, let's get more information about several kinds of cars, okay? T r a c k4-1-O L-4 Listen to another person talking about famous buildings in his country and fill in the blanks with information you hear. My country has two very famous buildings called the Petronas Towers. The buildings are made of glass, steel, and concrete. They were designed by an American architect, but he used a Malaysian style. They were finished in 1998, and they were the tallest buildings in the world at that time. Each tower has 88 floors, and is 452 meters high. I really like the Petronas Towers. They show both the modern and the traditional side of my country. T r a c k4-1-O L-5 A. Listen to a talk on controversies about modern buildings. Then fill in the blanks to complete the sentences. Modern buildings: We love them, We hate them The world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris is almost 500 years old, and it faced a very modern problem: There simply wasn't enough space for six million visitors each year. In 1989, American architect I.M. Pei designed a striking glass pyramid in the building's center to be a visitor entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started an angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the ones inside the museum. Others said it was just an ugly, modern mistake. Kyoto, Japan, is the country's ancient capital, and the heart of its culture. Its railroad station was too small for the millions of visitors. In 1997, the city completed a new station in a huge shopping center, right in the oldest part of the city. Designed by Hiroshi Hara, the building also contains a hotel and department store. Before it was built, critics said that the high, wide, modern building would destroy the city's traditional look. On the other hand, supporters said it would bring new life into the city center.

英语专科广外考试口语与听力经验及建议(广州)

大家好!我是2008年11月2日参加的广外考试.介绍一点个人经验及建议给大家吧!希望对大家有帮助 先说说广外吧！我是11/1下午到广州的，但因为我有亲威在广州，所以没有住旅馆.不过据朋友说，离广外不远的地方有个叫陈田村的，那里一晚上80元.是比较便宜的.如果你到广外考试，要早点订旅馆，因为考生多，而且大多数是外地的.如果晚了，有可能订不到.关于到广外的乘车路线，在考试前你可以上6684网,上面有乘车路线，你把它打印出来.带着去广外考试.这样方便些.我今年就是这样.广外离广州火车站不远，有9站路，车费是2元（无人售票）.所以要先准备好零钱哦.广外那个站叫外语学院.下车之后要往前走约100米，不用过马路.到时你就可以看到广东外语外贸大学几个字了. 再说口语.首先你先找到相应的考试教学楼及候考室（不是试室哦）.在那里找个位置随便坐上来，与别的同学聊聊天（用英语）.让自己早一点进入状态.我今年与一男生同坐，他的发音很不准，我一点都听不懂他说什么.后来就演变成基本上是我说，他听了.大约8：15分，会有老师进来给一张签到表你签.这个时候你要注意了，看看你的名排在第几，你的上一个与下一个是谁.因为这意味着你很有可能与她（他）成为PARTNER.今年考试是按姓氏排的.而且是从Z往上排的（这是我这个试室的排序方式，有的是从A开始排）.轮到你时，老师会叫你及你的PARTNER一起到教室外面的走郎上，那里会有老师分别发一张图给你及你的PARTNER.有一个为A，有一个为B.我今年拿到的图纸是关于垃圾食品的.就是讲越来越多的学校售物机出售健康食品，远离垃圾食品.其实说实话，售物机里售的那些东西英文名我基本上看不懂，我记得有个GREEN TEA.但下面一句英文写的内容大意是讲越来越多的学校售物机出售健康食品，远离垃圾食品.其实你全部看不懂都可以,但你一定要看懂那一句关键的提示性的英文.老师让你与你的PARTNER 5分种各看各的图纸,5分种后她就会收走,然后你们就在那里等,试室里的考生出来就可以进去考试. 接下来就进入试室正式开始考试了.进去后首先要有礼貌地说声GOOD MORNING.今年我说了,但我的PARTNER没有说.考试一开始,老师问了我一个问题:WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE TRAFFIC IN GUANZHOU? 说实话,我考前没有准备过任何问题.一问起这个问题,我全部是用自己的话说的.IN MY OPINION,AT FIRST, THEN, LAST.按照这样的顺序说的.说实话,这个问题我的PARTNER比我回答地要好,因为她是广州的.第二题就是给你一段文字,让你与你的PARTNER分A,B读.我这次考试,本来老师让我读A,可能是因为我没有听到,出于礼貌,我让我的PARTNER读A,我读B.这段文字会有5-10字左右的生词.不过不要紧,你要按照发音规则把它读出来.读时发音要清晰要准确.停顿要及时.我记得我PARTNER读完第三句后,我正准备读,老师让我停了,接下来进行第三部分考试.这时老师会将你们在走朗上看过的图纸再给你们.老师先将A图纸给我,要求描述图片中所发生的事情及我的评论.因为之前有准备过5分种,所以我说得很快.接下来老师将我的图纸给我的PARTNER.只给5秒锺给她准备.因为之前她没有看过我的图片,5秒锺时间又太短,她一下子说不出来.老师问了3次,CAN YOU START?在第三次,她才开始说.才说了一句,就不知说什么了.结果老师说停.然后把B图纸给她,让她描述图片上所发和的事情及她的评论.因为准备过,她说得还不错.只不过我完全没有听懂她说什么.后来老师又把她的图片给我,5秒锺准备,让我描述.我看了一下,就开始说了,其实我当时也时也理解错了.我说石油涨价了,司机们很生气,所以在打石油站的工作人员,后来120车来了.其实应该是石油涨价了,有司机看了就吓倒了,石油站的工作人员在把他抬上120车.说完这个这之后,老师就说:THIS IS THE END OF THIS EXAM. 然后我们就离开了.离开之后,我的PARTNER跟我说,有一个打了50分.她说她看到老师们在说.我的PARTNER 认为是我打了50分,因为第二部分朗读时,老师让我读A,我偏要让她读A. 不过现在成绩出来了,我的还不错,是个良好.我也不知道她考得怎样?基于此,建议大家最后一题,不论自己是完全看明了,还是没有看明,都一定要发表意见,不要不说话,那一题可是40分呀.
